A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

Will McCann's diamond be forever?

AdScamer Josh, has very cleverly dug up a 2009 “Wharton
Leadership & Change” interview with new McCann Uber-Fuhrer, Harris
Diamond. It’s chock full of priceless gems such as “Shoot the
frowners.” Others include such blindingly insightful ones as… “Negative
perceptions can trump positive messages, cultural differences should not be
ignored, and change -- even destructive change -- can be good.” Yes
in-fucking-deed. Harris, I can see nothing but success for McCann from now on.
The interview also points out that while he was running Weber Shandwick, the PR
company advised the milk industry on its "got milk?"
campaign. So there you have it… Obviously Goodby Silverstein + Partners stole
the campaign from a wanky PR company. Better pack up all those Gold Lions, Jeff,
and send them over to McCann. Oh, it also points out that Harris’s first job was
at at Prudential Insurance… That’s right, fucking Prudential insurance. Obviously that’s
where he met Michael Roth… Wheels within fucking wheels… Right? Fuck the Drudge
Report, get your real muck here!
